[QUOTE="SupportDragon, post: 2036091, member: 109496"] He really seems to like the honey when I put it on his nose, but he doesn’t seem to realize what it is. So he won’t eat it off the spoon himself (nothing could ever be easy with him 🙄). I’m going to try some, topically, when he goes to bed. And I will try putting some on the meloxicam syringe tip when I administer it. He started Bene-Bac yesterday. I’m hoping it’ll at least restore anything commensal that the metro got rid of. His current doctor suggested his initial GI issues were caused by his sinusitis compromising his immune system. She’s pretty adamant that the ceftazidime itself wouldn’t cause GI issues. But, maybe he never had a healthy commensal microbiome to begin with? Is it possible his GI tract was largely colonized by some competitive bacterium (ex: salmonella) that was susceptible to the ceft? If there’s no commensal bacteria to compete with pathogens, that would explain why he keeps developing infections. I think the issue in that situation would be trying to kill off the pathogens that are competing with the commensal bacteria while it develops and preventing reinfection. While he’s undergoing treatments, I’ve been strict with his biosecurity. Cleaning his enclosure daily with chlorhex, soaking him immediately after a bowel movement, only using disposable cleaning supplies, etc. I’m also not sure what else to do to boost his immune system besides keeping him warm.
